A census is the procedure of systematically enumerating, and acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. The word is of Latin origin: during the Roman Republic, the census was a list that kept track of all adult males fit for military service.

They are commonly employed in the construction of a building’s interior ceiling or used as a means of creating external walkways. Due to the unique shape of this structure, a vault needs to be capable of supporting the immense pressure placed on its lower components by the structure that rests on top of it.

A groin vault is made by taking two barrel vaults and crossing them in the middle at a right angle. Where the edges of the vaults meet they form an arris or sharp line. This vault is also sometimes called a cross vault because the intersected section resembles a stubby cross.

People experiencing homelessness who are not counted in households or other operations are counted where they stay or receive services when census takers visit. These operations were originally scheduled for March 30–April 1.

The 1931 census returns, including schedules, enumeration books and plans, were completely destroyed in a fire in Hayes, Middlesex, where the census was being stored. Many precautions had been taken to protect the census, which all failed. The 1941 UK census was not taken due to World War II.

Most of the 1890 census materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and fragments of the US census population schedule exist only for the states of Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas, and the District of Columbia. …

The results of the 1920 census revealed a major and continuing shift of the population of the United States from rural to urban areas. No apportionment was carried out following the 1920 census; representatives elected from rural districts worked to derail the process, fearful of losing political power to the cities.
